Hmph.  Where does such a tempfile that is not on list come from?

Puzzled, but let's read on---this could for example become an
internal implementation detail for create_tempfile().  Also I cannot
tell which one of register_tempfile() and register_tempfile_object()
I should be calling when updating the implementation of this API
from their names.
